«44»- ع، علل الشرائع سَيَأْتِي عَنِ الرِّضَا عَنْ أَبِيهِ عليه السلام أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عليه السلام مَا بَالُ الْقُرْآنِ لَا يَزْدَادُ عَلَى النَّشْرِ وَ الدَّرْسِ إِلَّا غَضَاضَةً فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى لَمْ يَجْعَلْهُ لِزَمَانٍ دُونَ زَمَانٍ وَ لِنَاسٍ دُونَ نَاسٍ فَهُوَ فِي كُلِّ زَمَانٍ جَدِيدٌ وَ عِنْدَ كُلِّ قَوْمٍ غَضٌّ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ.

'Ilal al-Shara'i': It is related from al-Imam al-Rida, peace be upon him, from his fathers, that a man asked Imam al-Sadiq, peace be upon him: Why is it that with spreading and study the Qur'an gains nothing but freshness and newness? He said: Because God the Exalted has not made the Qur'an for one age rather than another, nor for one people rather than another. The Qur'an is fresh in every age and new before every group, until the Day of Resurrection.

«45»- كا، الكافي يب، تهذيب الأحكام عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ بُرَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرٍو الزُّبَيْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عليه السلام حِينَ سَأَلَهُ عَنْ أَحْكَامِ الْجِهَادِ فَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَى أَنْ قَالَ عليه السلام فَمَنْ كَانَ قَدْ تَمَّتْ فِيهِ شَرَائِطُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ الَّتِي قَدْ وُصِفَ بِهَا أَهْلُهَا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى اللّٰه عليه و آله وَ هُوَ مَظْلُومٌ فَهُوَ مَأْذُونٌ لَهُ فِي الْجِهَادِ كَمَا أُذِنَ لَهُمْ لِأَنَّ حُكْمَ اللَّهِ فِي الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ وَ فَرَائِضَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ سَوَاءٌ إِلَّا مِنْ عِلَّةٍ أَوْ حَادِثٍ يَكُونُ وَ الْأَوَّلُونَ وَ الْآخِرُونَ أَيْضاً فِي مَنْعِ الْحَوَادِثِ شُرَكَاءُ وَ الْفَرَائِضُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَاحِدَةٌ يُسْأَلُ الْآخِرُونَ عَنْ أَدَاءِ الْفَرَائِضِ كَمَا يُسْأَلُ عَنْهُ الْأَوَّلُونَ وَ يُحَاسَبُونَ كَمَا يُحَاسَبُونَ بِهِ.

Al-Kafi and Tahzib al-Ahkam: Abu 'Amr al-Zubayri asks Imam al-Sadiq, peace be upon him, questions about the rulings of struggle, and the discussion extends until the Imam says: If in someone the conditions that God has described are fulfilled — the very conditions that existed in the Prophet's companions — and this person who fulfils the conditions is wronged, he has leave to struggle just as the Prophet's companions had leave; for God's ruling and obligations concerning the first and the last are one and the same, unless it be on account of some cause or event. Likewise the first and the last are partners in warding off events, and the obligations are the same for all, and the question put to all concerning the discharge of the obligations is one, and all are called to account. The reckoning of the Muslims of the first age and the Muslims of the end of time is the same.

«46»- كا، الكافي الْعِدَّةُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبَانٍ الْأَحْمَرِ عَنْ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ الطَّيَّارِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عليه السلام قَالَ: قَالَ لِي اكْتُبْ فَأَمْلَى عَلَيَّ إِنَّ مِنْ قَوْلِنَا إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَحْتَجُّ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ بِمَا آتَاهُمْ وَ عَرَّفَهُمْ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِمْ رَسُولًا وَ أَنْزَلَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْكِتَابَ فَأَمَرَ فِيهِ وَ نَهَی أَمَرَ فِيهِ بِالصَّلَاةِ وَ الصِّيَامِ الْخَبَرَ.

Al-Kafi: Hamza b. al-Tayyar related from Imam al-Sadiq, peace be upon him, that he said to me: Write — and he dictated to me: Of our word is that God the Exalted argues against the servants by what is prepared for them and what they have recognised, and then He sent the prophets to them and sent down for them the Book, and in that Book He commanded and forbade. In that Book He commanded the prayer and the fast… to the end of the report.

«47»- يد، التوحيد الْعَطَّارُ عَنْ سَعْدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عليه السلام قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللّٰه عليه و آله رُفِعَ عَنْ أُمَّتِي تِسْعَةٌ الْخَطَأُ وَ النِّسْيَانُ وَ مَا أُكْرِهُوا عَلَيْهِ وَ مَا لَا يُطِيقُونَ وَ مَا لَا يَعْلَمُونَ وَ مَا اضْطُرُّوا إِلَيْهِ وَ الْحَسَدُ وَ الطِّيَرَةُ وَ التَّفَكُّرُ فِي الْوَسْوَسَةِ فِي الْخَلْقِ مَا لَمْ يَنْطِقْ بِشَفَةٍ.

Al-Tawhid: Hariz related from Imam al-Sadiq, peace be upon him, from the Messenger of God, may God bless him and his family, that he said: Nine things have been lifted from my community: 1. mistake; 2. forgetfulness; 3. compulsion; 4. what they have no capacity for; 5. what they do not know; 6. what they are driven to by necessity; 7. envy; 8. taking an evil omen; 9. reflecting upon an insinuation concerning the truth, so long as he has not uttered it with his tongue.

كا، الكافي بالإسناد مثله.

Al-Kafi: The like of it is related by the same chain.

«48»- يد، التوحيد الْعَطَّارُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَرْقَدٍ عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عليه السلام قَالَ: مَا حَجَبَ اللَّهُ عِلْمَهُ عَنِ الْعِبَادِ فَهُوَ مَوْضُوعٌ عَنْهُمْ.

Al-Tawhid: Zakariyya b. Yahya related from Imam al-Sadiq, peace be upon him, that he said: Whatever knowledge is hidden from the servants, that thing is lifted from them.

«49»- يد، التوحيد أَبِي عَنْ سَعْدٍ عَنِ الْأَصْبَهَانِيِّ عَنِ الْمِنْقَرِيِّ عَنْ حَفْصٍ قَالَ قَالَ
